This was originally recorded as a live broadcast with Cincinnati’s GCCBS facebook group to prepare the world for the much anticipated Blue Melvin bottle release at Fifty West, but as these things tend to go, the conversation was just too fantastic to have it only live inside of a live video, I knew that eventually […]

I was joined in “studio” (I’m working on the new version of Cincy Brewcast studios… slowly but surely) for what was supposed to be a show focusing on Sam Adams and their Longshot variety six pack that they had recently released. My guests didn’t know what was in store for this show when they signed

This week I was joined by Dave Dixon and Jon Covey, two homebrewers-turned-innovation brewers for Braxton Brewing company. I wanted to try to capture a little bit of their journey, and what it means to have a brewery that operates with a culture of innovation. It’s all relevant with the recent news of Braxton’s expansion

I love watching new brewery’s as they open up. It’s fascinating to see the different approaches that each of them take with their opening strategies, and March First certainly had one that had everyone on their toes. March First is a brewery that didn’t put much out there until there was beer ready to leave

The style seems to be taking over the universe – even around Cincinnati, which always seems to be a step or two behind the trends. NE IPAs are clearly a thing… but I admittedly didn’t know a lot about them. There’s only one way to change that! I grabbed CraftBeerJoe from CraftBeerJoe.com and we compiled

I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Streetside Brewing Company has only been around for six months, and are kicking as much ass as they are. To celebrate their first ever packaged release (16oz cans of their NE IPA called Suh, Brah) I thought we should do it in

It’s hard to believe that Streetside is still “new”, with them only being open a few months. They manage to give off an aura of a brewery that has been around forever, and I want to get to the bottom of how they manage to do that. I sat down with Garrett, Kathie and Luke

It’s a hard place to explain to someone who hasn’t been there, but Jungle Jim’s is home to me. While we set up this show to give us a chance to talk about their upcoming Barrel Aged Beer Bash, we had to explore what makes Jungle Jim’s what it is. How can you take a

There’s a little brewery that sits in OTR that everyone seems to chatter about a little bit, called Rhinegeist. It seems crazy that it’s taken until the end of Volume 2 to finally sit down and chat with the brewery that is poised to become one of the biggest brewery’s in the country, and certainly

Mike started this show with a goal of bringing craft beer news, tastings, and interviews to people via their digital airwaves. He asked me to come on board, and I said yes without a moments hesitation. I didn’t know then how great of a friend he would become to me, and this craft community. We
